"Arnold Ramm and I made a short survey of the region south of the pier for our camp. This afternoon Ramm continued the survey. My opinion is that there is a possibility that the place may prove satisfactory. At least the airship will be unable to come in only at high tide. The ramp will probably have to be made longer than the 150 ft that we had planned. In addition the coral reefs must be dredged an area 16 x 30 ft. It may prove necessary to dredge a portion of the area to get it down to the needed depth. A captain of the government steamer, who has been stationed here for 2 months +, told me that the only protected spot for an airship anchorage was in the north easterly baylet of Honolulu Bay. (See map on previous page.) He advised this as an anchorage spot for the place. Three times since he has been here his government boat has been washed up near the coral reefs by the strong north east winds. Our gardener and 27 Parsee Coolies reported this morning for work. They spent the day cutting jungle wood for the godowns, etc. I would judge that we had nearly enough lumber for one of the godowns. It amazes me to see the quantity they had piled on the beach. They in a bit of a dispute as to the way they should receive for their work. The govt. (Gasagahler) said .30% per day, the coolies say not enough "no work". Pay will be decided tomorrow. We sent them off happy with a portion of tobacco. The Madras Coolies spent the day doing odd jobs about the house and godown such as sorting cargo, washing cloth, building tables, and many other odd jobs. Things are beginning to run quite smooth about the house. The meal is excellent, well prepared
